Anyone tried these with F360 before?

I prefer all things Mac as I just prefer the working environment compared to Windows but if there's 1 thing that will make me get a Windows machine, it'll be this fella, the Cintiq Companion 2.

This doubles as a 2nd monitor w/ touch screen (compatible both Mac and Windows) and when unplug it's a full fledge tablet/MS Surface Pro (and in my opinion a better device then MS Surface Pro).

The graphic card if I'm not mistaken is Intel Iris (though I hope they have an Iris Pro option), all in all the spec is quite similar to what you'll find in the 13" MacBooks? So my guess is Fusion 360 should run okay with it. 

Now that the product intro is done, anyone tried using these or the earlier Companion with F360? I've seen before online where a car designer used the Cintiq 24 (I think) with Catia to do his 3D surfacing and boy it looks very intuitative.

Found it, it's called Catia Natural Sketch. Found a few videos showing examples of what is possible with 3D Sketch on these kind of devices (and my guess applicable for Surface Pro like devices as well)

They look like really cool devices. Would love to try one.

I know right, I know it's more of a luxury item, but dang it looks cool!

Hi O.Tan, 

I have one of the Wacom tablets running Windows 8.1.  While it isn't my full time machine for running Fusion (I'm on a Mac Notebook) I have played with it a bit and it seems up to the task for running Fusion.

It took me a while to get used to navigating the software with the pen only.  With the Surface you have a keyboard so I assume the transition there would be a bit eaiser.  As far as the computers ability to run Fusion goes, I haven't had any issues in my testing.  I was even able to render without any issues.

Neat, just curious if Fusion take advantage of any of the pen based input or makes certain processes much more intuitive?

As mentioned above, the Cintiq Companion 2 can double as a tablet or a 2nd monitor w/ touch attached to your main machine 🙂
